“If you are looking for a workshop or presentation that is impactful, pragmatic, gutsy and entertaining, and deepens skills, knowledge and insights, then Felicity Ryan (Flic) is the person to call on. The 2-day workshop I attended with Flic has profoundly shaped and changed the way I think and work, for the better. Flic is an exceptional trainer with an outstanding grasp of her areas of expertise and very skilful in conveying and sharing this with others. Highly commended!”
